Thor: Ragnarok Confirmed Cast and Concept Art

Marvel brings us news from Asgard today as they announce new cast members for Thor: Ragnarok alongside a first look at some concept art. The film directed by Taika Waititi will star Cate Blanchett as the main villain Hela, Goddess of Death and ruler of Hel (one of the nine realms), Jeff Goldblum as the Grandmaster, Karl Urban as Skurge and Tessa Thompson as Valkyrie. Returning cast will include, of course, Chris Hemsworth as Thor, Tom Hiddleston as Loki, Idris Elba as Heimdall and Anthony Hopkins as Odin. And – many fans called it – Mark Ruffalo will be starring in the film as Bruce Banner AKA the Hulk.

I was a geek before I knew what the word even meant. What started as a childhood love of fantasy evolved into a fondness for sci-fi, movies, comics, and video games, with conventions and cosplay joining the mix later on. Outside of the geek realm, I'm a filmmaker and video editor. I'm a cosplayer, a huge fan of everything Marvel and DC and I have a deep love for Avatar: The Last Airbender and The Legend of Korra. Other fandoms include The Walking Dead, Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, and too many others to name.
